Charged battery last nite and i've done the same procedure everytime i battery goes flat, undid the red wire on battery and placed the charger pegs onto the batt. Reconnected everything and all the car does is make a single 'click' sound then nothing happens.
The car never gave me any starting problems, any help..

so the battery has full charge, but if you try to start it the car makes a click every time ya go to turn it over, sounds like starter solenoid if its doing this,

but if it is the battery. But still, it would 'try' and turn the engine. I turn the key now, and all i get is nothing, no clicks and my voltage is dropping.

I carnt understand what he is saying, is the battery losing charge on its own???, or is trying to start it draining the battery????, or will it not charge???, or is it fully charged and not turning the engine????

the battery is fooked... it cant cope with the load of the starter, even if its showing propper voltage it still cant supply the current. Had the same on a 106 that'd bin stood for 18 months this weekend

My mated corsa did this after we charged the battery and it turned out the starter motor was stuck 
We just rocked the car backwards and forwards and then it strated 
good luck
